Press officer. Media head. Whatever they call them these days.

The only time I've heard of him is when Franksy and his friends were crying on the radio after apparently being insulted by Doogan. For that, I wish him well.

At least he might have something to do at Everton, a press officer at VP is as much use as Anne Franks drum kit.

Hmmm. My neighbour is a well known local sports journo and he said recently that Mr Doogan had steadily pissed off pretty much every media outlet going at VP. Wonder if he walked or was pushed

I'm mildly surprised that he's off to another Premier League club. He's a nice guy and he'd always as helpful as he can be, but his first love has never been football.

Wasn't Doogan credited with one of the best put-down responses when addressing some puerile remark from the Porn Barons across town?  I've been wracking my brains trying to remember what that response wording was and, indeed what it was a response too.  Can you oblige please Dave?

I've been trying to think of a response but can't come up with one that reflects well on us, or similar. Written by Randy, apparently.

An Aston Villa spokesman said: “As regards the specific comments made by Mr Sullivan, we have tried but can’t seem to come up with a response that reflects terribly well on us.”

Was Doogan the guy O'Neill got appointed?  Is this the last physical remnant of Quitty's reign gone..?? Just the emotional ones to clear now :-)

From SJA at the time of his appointment:

Like O’Neill, Doogan is from Northern Ireland, and he was the Daily Express‘s Midlands football reporter when O’Neill was in charge at Leicester City. The reporter and manager have remained in close contact ever since.

Well, he spends every waking moment thinking about Aston Villa so he would probably be perfect for the job.

How far this once-great club has fallen.
